There was a great analogy to DQ that I picked up in a book I read over 
the summer - unfortunately I can't remember the book or the author! 
Might've been Dennett.
The analogy was one of a universal library where every possible 
combination of every character (in English) existed separately in, what 
would amount to, an infinite number of books. Countless copies of Lila 
exist where there is maybe one character or word different to the copies 
that most of us possess. Similarly with every other book in existence 
already and an infinite number that have never existed. Most of theses 
books will be garbage and make no sense whatsoever - they're just a 
jumble of characters in no particular order. The only way we know if 
they make any sense is if we read them. Which ones have value and which 
don't? We don't know until we've read them.

As an analogy this made a lot of sense to me.
